Installation: Ode to IT Men Everywhere Picked this up on Twitter from @MSWindows, it is very cool, sort of in the style of ‘ Flight of the Conchords ’ ( Spotify ). Shame about the lip-sync. There is a serious side to this. It’s called “Viral Marketing”. What product are they marketing? Of course, Windows...

Windows 7 has finally RTMed (Released To Manufacturing) and the buzz is really positive, in contrast to the luke-warm reaction that Windows Vista received. Just check out the Twitter keyword #Windows7 to see what I mean. Here at TiGra Networks , our mission is to be ready to support our customers on...

Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet I know I’m sounding really geeky here, but I don’t care! For me, the XT2 is game changing. I’ve previously blogged about the compromises inherent in various form factors and how I thought the XT2 was a step forward. I’ve used a tablet PC for some years now, but always missed...
